Job Description

Flexible start: Latest End of June, 2026.This is hybrid role with a minimum 3 days in the lab at White City, London (W12 7RZ) required.About Resurrect BioResurrect Bio is a VC-backed plant biotech start-up, discovering how to make crops resistant to disease using gene editing. We fix the immune system of crop species. We have a unique pipeline and platform for discovering resistance genes in crops which have been defeated by pathogens and pests. We then resurrect (restore) those resistance genes to make the crop resistant again, without introducing any new DNA to the crop.We’re focussed on delivering for the world’s farmers a better way to protect their plants, using the crop's own immune system instead of spraying chemicals. This will enable them to increase food production, reduce land for agriculture and help mitigate climate change.In December 2021, Resurrect Bio was spun out of the top institute for molecular plant microbe interactions, The Sainsbury Lab, Norwich. Since then, we have attracted financial support from several renowned VCs, as well as UK Government grant funding.This roleYou’ll take ownership of the company’s AI-driven protein protein interaction tool, FloraFold®. The role will require:Fine-tuning, optimisation, and deployment of 3D protein structure predictions modelsIntegrating experimental data to improve structure-based functional inferenceOptimise GPU/Cloud workflows for large-scale model fine-tuning and high-throughput structure predictionWorking closely with experimental biologists to validate model predictions in the labInvestigate and implement novel training strategies and protein interaction scoring capabilitiesThis is a hands-on role suited to someone very comfortable writing code, training models, and helping us define our product roadmap. The computational team is integral to Resurrect Bio and is small but growing.The role can be hybrid or based at our lab in White City, London.
